I came across this portion of the Ohio University Website while I was looking for a topic to discuss for our second project. By clicking on the link, you will see that Ohio University is holding a contest to see which residence hall can reduce energy use the most. By participating in the contest, students are entered in the running to win a trip to Cedar Point.
I was pretty shocked when I found this link. I didn't know that the OU website had a sustainability link. I had no idea that this competition was going on, but I was instantly interested in it. My hall tries to reduce energy use by turning off the hall, bathroom, and mod lights whenever possible. I think the competition is a great way to get students involved in sustainability.
I was a bit concerned that that I had never heard anything about this link. Have other students been informed of OU's attempt to promote sustainability? I would also like to know what else OU does to help the environment. What could we do to make this link more well known to OU students? Are students taking advantage of this competiton? Is this having an impact on the way students live in their residence halls?
